Ake, it seems to me that you, as a professed atheist, have come up with your own definition of religious belief and your own understanding of what a religious person must believe. This definition appears to be based on your concept of the tenets of some of the more conservative versions of Christianity, even though the majority of Americans' (and certainly Mudcatters') beliefs are different. Then you ask people to defend their beliefs in the context of your definition. Somehow, I don't think so.
